Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum has announced its 2025-2026 exhibition season, featuring four solo shows by artists vanessa german, Qualeasha Wood, Devan Shimoyama, and Jazlyne Sabree. The exhibitions explore themes of healing, identity, African folk culture, the Black LGBTQ experience, and ancestral resilience through diverse media including sculpture, digital tapestry, painting, and collage. All exhibitions are free and open to the public at the gallery's location in Glassboro, New Jersey.
This programming matters because it centers underrepresented narratives and demonstrates how contemporary art can address social and personal healing. By showcasing artists who employ innovative, self-taught approaches and who engage with complex issues of race, gender, and history, the gallery reinforces its role as a vital cultural resource for Rowan University and the South Jersey region. The season also highlights the growing institutional support for artists working at the intersection of identity, technology, and traditional craft.
